Or you can ask them to explain the terms to you by leading by example. If they cannot articulate the terms or the terminology ask them to strike out the clause because both parties don't understand the terminology. Just because somebody presents you with a employment contract doesn't mean you have to sign it. Read it, ask them to explain parts you don't understand by leading by example how and where the clause of the contract would be put into practice. I've had some baffling contract terms put into contracts. I've asked and managed to get employers pay for 3rd party legal advice >= $2,000 for employment contracts. In summary if they cannot explain to you like a adult without saying `The lawyers told us to put this in we don't understand why`. Then it's not within your best interest to sign the contract. My own person experience stay away from firms that have lengthy overtly complicated contracts.
